Delete: The fact that there his death was announced in the Boston Globe, and there are some scant other non-routine sources that do provide
WP:SIGCOV make it close, but I think it still fails
WP:GNG; some newspaper sources may exist (my newspapers.com subscription is in the process of renewal so I can't check) , but as of right now, no dice. Also, searches are further hampered because his grandfather, who has the same name, was apparently a local bigshot back in the day.

Also looking at the previous AfD from 2008, those really were different times.

Delete. People do not get articles just for running as candidates in elections they did not win, but this features neither a credible claim that he had preexisting notability for other reasons besides the candidacy nor sufficient sourcing to deem his candidacies more special than everybody else's candidacies.

Delete, fails
WP:NPOL and I can't see any indication that he passes
WP:GNG.
